I had a whole 1/8" clearance between the exhaust manifold and the inner
steering box on one of my trucks with a V-8. I just switched between ram
horn exhaust to camaro exhaust manifolds. With the ram horns I had to use a
box end wrench to change #7 spark plug. You can also make up spacers to
move the box toward the outside of the frame closer to the wheel well.
Can't move it that much though.
